SOME SEAFARING BIRDS.

The aux is a northern bird and seldom takes
to the air, preferring to use the water as
means of locomotion AS a consequence,
its wings are dwarfed and of little use.
The frigate bird is the most thoroughgoing
sea bird known. Its wings are longer III com
parison with its size than those of any other
bird Even in the stifest gale it flies and
scars with perfect ease, and it is often seen
1000 miles from land.
The albatroSs is the largest sea bird known,
and weighs all the way from twelve TO twenty
eight pounds. It's wings are OF enormous
length, usually about eleven feet On account
Of its motions and voracity it is often called
by sailors the man o war bird.
The elder duck, like most arctic species, Is
common TO both hemispheres. II breeds In

Horace Gree1ey's Prophecy.

Tn the winter of 1856 / heard a lecture
delivered by Horace Greeley in Brooklyn.
His subject was 'EFrance." Solemn and
weird were his prophecies that night. All
else, save Il general impression OF his lee
ture has passed from my memory, put
one thing stands out in boldest relief, ana
that is his description of how Louis Ma
poleon accomplished the coup d'etat and
the prophecy which Mr. Greeley made. 1t
was near the end Of his discourse. In his
calm style the orator, speaking OF that
usurpation, accomplished in treachery
and blood, seemed to have become elevated
like a seer, and he said: ga day is coming
when. as sure as there is a God IN heaven,
Napoleon Ill will pay the penalty for haV-
ing outraged moral and civil law. Ana
here Greeley raised his voice, Thou,
Eugene, beautiful queen OF power ana OF
fashion. when that day does arrive thou
wilt have thy share in the penalty

Two godfathers and two godmothers
are generally appointed at Saxon peasant
christenings, and it is customary that one
couple should be old and the other young;
but in no case should Il husband and wife
figure as god parents at the same baptism,
but each one OF the quartet must belong
to n different family. This is the general
custom. but in some districts the rubs de-
mands two godfathers and one godmofhef
for a boy, two gOdmotherS and one god
father for girl.
IF the parents have lost other children
before, then the infant should not be car
ried ort by the door in going to church
but handed out by the window and broughi'
back in the same way. 1t should be car
ried by the broadcast street, never by mar
row lanes, else it will learn thlevlng.
The codparents must not look round on
their way to church, and the first person
| met by the christening procession Will
| decide the sex of the next child to De
| born-a boy if it be 4 man.
| If two children are baptized out OF Inc
| same water one of them will soon die, and
| if several boys are christened successIVely
| in the same church there Will be war III
the land as soon as they are grown up.
| Many girls denote fruitful N1ntaSeS Ior
| the country when they have attained a
marriageable age.
If the child sleeps during the baptismai
CEREMONY then it will be pious ana goou
tempered but if it cries it will be bad tenn
pered or unlucky; therefore the llrst ques
ton asked by the parents on the return
from church is generally, WAS it qtle'
baptism - and if such has not been tnl
case the sponsors are apt to conceal Inc
truth.
In some places the christening process
sion returning to the house of the parents
find the door closed. After knocking 10
